It's apparently a service that companies provide to test the timeliness of the postal mail. They mail you stuff and then you get online and post results. There are a couple companies that I know of that provide this service. I guess they pay you to be a decoy and give them information. Anyone ever done this or have any info? Thanks!!

I haven't run into that one yet. It sounds like it might be part of the mystery shopping field. I would be interested in learning a little more about this and who offers it.

I have been a mail decoy for about 5 years. I am with Hauser and they pay per piece. They send you mail with a special code and you go online everyday and input the mail. It is quick and easy and you get to keep all the things you receive. I get most every kind of magazine from people to sports illustrated for kids and other cool things like cds. It depends on your zip code and if they need a decoy in your area.
